Effects of Partially Automated Vehicle Reliability on Vigilance Performance, Trust, and Workload

Partially automated vehicles control vehicle speed and roadway position but require drivers to monitor roadway and automation events that may go undetected by the automation. Although drivers must remain vigilant, their ability to detect and respond to roadway hazards declines ov...

Reversing the Vigilance Decrement: Effects of a Late Modality Switch on Detection Performance

When people monitor rare signals for sustained periods, detection performance declines over time (vigilance decrement). In applied settings this decline can lead to missed critical signals. Prior research examined whether changing display modalities would improve detection after...

Evaluating Driver Perception of Truck Platoon Speeds During Intersection Approaches

Truck platoons are groups of trucks traveling in a tight single-file formation to reduce aerodynamic drag. Because air resistance accounts for a substantial portion of truck fuel consumption, platooning can improve efficiency and reduce fuel use. However, little is known about ho...
